Hi, In this GRN, Marcel overhauled the root mount logic: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r214006 | marcel | 2010-10-17 22:01:53 -0700 (Sun, 17 Oct 2010) | 20 lines Re-implement the root mount logic using a recursive approach, whereby each root file system (starting with devfs and a synthesized configuration) can contain directives for mounting another file system as root. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This stuff is very, very useful, and I have experimented with things like mounting a root file system on a geom_uzip image of a UFS file system and it works great. I looked at these threads to look for some examples: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2010-August/010521.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2010-August/010547.html and also read the source code of src/sys/kern/vfs_mountroot.c. I would like to contribute a man page for the mount.conf file. My diff is here: http://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/mount-conf/mount.conf.diff.txt I also have the man page rendered in ASCII, for easier reading: http://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/mount-conf/mount.conf.8.txt Please review and provide feedback. I'd like to get this committed for 9.2 if possible. Thanks to Marcel for writing this code....it's really cool! -- Craig
